AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Aims: To elucidate frontline nurse managers' visions of their units.
Background: Managers have the opportunity to imagine and share their visions for effective unit management.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 frontline nurse managers working at inpatient units in two hospitals between 2016 and 2017. Data were qualitatively analysed using an inductive approach, focusing on participants' intents.
Results: Although participants showed four types of difficulties in verbalizing visions, five categories and 18 subcategories were extracted through analysis of their descriptions about actual cases reflecting their visions. The categories were (a) provide excellent care to ensure patient recovery based on reliable knowledge and skills, (b) make efforts to broaden patients' futures, (c) create a climate for pursuing better practice, (d) all staff continuously pursue professional development and (e) provide nursing care that responds to external changes. All categories were common to all participants' images of the future and linked together to form each manager's vision.
Conclusion: Frontline managers experienced difficulty in articulating their visions. However, through episodes, they represented images of visions. The managers' visions comprised five categories reflecting various perspectives.
Implications For Nursing Management: Using a conceptualized vision framework, and identifying difficulties in verbalizing their images, can help managers articulate their visions.

Background: The recent global pandemic posed extraordinary challenges for healthcare systems. Frontline healthcare workers required focused, immediate, practical, evidence-based instruction on optimal patient care modalities as knowledge evolved around disease management.
Objective: This course was designed to provide knowledge to protect healthcare workers; combat disease spread; and improve patient outcomes.
Objective: This clinical trial sought to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of psilocybin and MBSR for frontline healthcare providers with symptoms of depression and burnout related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Five principles to prioritise in small-scale surgical quality improvement: a qualitative study of the views of surgical improvement leaders.
BMJ Open Qual

Strangeways Research Laboratory, Cambridge, UK.
Objective: Variations in the quality and safety of surgical care remain persistent. Efforts to improve are needed, but are themselves variably effective, with often disappointing impacts. When compared with large-scale, multisite and better resourced improvement efforts, the evidence base for small-scale quality improvement (QI) has remained under-developed and lacking in clarity on good practice.
